(Clearwisdom.net September 26, 2003) From September 23 to 24, 2003, the "Return to the Journey of Truthfulness, Compassion, Forbearance" photo exhibition was held in the Pennsylvania State Capitol in the City of Hershey.
The Rotunda Hall in the east wing is magnificent, and is the connecting region of the main building, east wing, Rvis Building, and Ryan Building. The staff in the capitol come and go through this hall. This week both the House and Senate resume session, so the Rotunda Hall is busy.
More than 130 vivid photos illustrated the ten-year's spreading of Falun Dafa, the cultivation of Dafa practitioners and the journey of Fa-rectification.
